• Taking place in Porto Alegre/RS, the 13° World Hearing Voices Congress will be the first one in Latin America. Each year, with support of Intervoice, a different network or national organization assembles the World Hearing Voices Congress.
  
  These conferences are a great opportunity to bring together voice-hearers, family members, supporters, mental health professionals, researchers, academics and other allies to think, share, learn and connect.
  
  The World Hearing Voices Congress is a time for us to bring together people from all over the world: those who hear voices and experience other unusual phenomena, as well as those who wish to learn from us and those we choose to ally with.
  
  It's a space to connect, gain strength, share knowledge and push and stretch the limits of our understanding. Together, we are not alone.
